Can I still use WhatsApp on my phone?

No. When PropKaki asks which number you are connecting, pick The number already in your WhatsApp Business app — clients keep messaging the number they already have, and you keep using WhatsApp on your phone as normal.

Your number, your chats and your contacts stay on your phone.

• PropKaki can send on that line, and replies land in your Inbox.
• What you send from your phone shows in your Inbox as yours, a few seconds later, so the conversation reads the same in both places.
• Your past chats come over, once — one-to-one chats from the last 180 days, if you said yes to sharing your chat history during the connect. See Will my past WhatsApp chats come into PropKaki?

Your clients see no difference — messages come from your number either way.

Yes, one thing: open WhatsApp Business on your phone at least once every 14 days. If the app isn't opened for 14 days, Meta disconnects the line from PropKaki.

Opening it is enough — you don't have to send anything. If it does get disconnected, connect it again from Extensions → Connectors → WhatsApp. Your past chats don't come over a second time — the ones already in your Inbox stay.

Yes. Disconnecting drops PropKaki's use of that number only. The number, the account and the conversations on your phone are not affected.

See What happens to my messages if I disconnect?

Then don't connect it yet. Your chat link gives you a working bot with nothing connected at all, and a reply costs exactly what it would on WhatsApp — 2 credits on Advisor, 1 on Secretary.

Connect WhatsApp when you have seen what the bot says and are comfortable with it.
